If you're in SoCal, the long beach swap meet is a good place to look. I think it's this sunday (at veterens stadium by the airport). You can call ecology auto wrecking to verify (they sponsor it). Tim

most of your local speed shops can get you a new one its going to be a bit pricey and i would go out to some junck yard there is usally a abbundace of 460/429s in the junck yard i wouldnt imaging that it could be that much form the junk yard like maybe 35 . new its going to start at 175 good luck ! i might be looking too , i neew to pressure check mine.

Are you looking for the ford water pump housing, or the marine flat alum polished plate that bolts on to it . I habe the alum plate Jim Brock (818)890-1867

Brendella, just noticed this post... I bought one through a guy that sells aftermarket ones on ebay. I sent him an email asking what I could buy one for(not on auction) and he answered $75.00 plus shipping. I received it within a week, and it's a new housing, looks almost identical to the Ford part, just some little differences in a casting mark here and there. The one thing I did like about it, that I felt was an improvement to the original cover, was the front seal is pressed in from the front, versus the inside of the cover. So if you end up with a leak, you don't have to remove the cover in order to replace the front seal. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll see if I can back track and find his email address. I figured it was better than buying a "used" one, that you have no idea as to if it's going to leak water into your engine. Or a new one from Ford for over $170... Ivan
